Guinea eyes European gas hub

EQUATORIAL GUINEA IS forging ahead with a gas gathering project that it hopes will double the country's output, deepen links with gas-hungry European nations and provide electricity to Cameroon. Germany's E.ON Ruhrgas, Spain's Union Fenosa and Portugal's Galp Energia will help state gas company Sonagas complete a draft gas master plan for Equatorial Guinea by the end of the summer, according to Gabriel Obiang Lima, Deputy Mines and Energy Minister.
